We stopped here with our young boys during our cross-country road trip. Before visiting, I had…read moreexpected there might be a factory tour or some opportunity to see how the candy was made, but that's not the case. This location is strictly a retail outlet. Even so, we still had a great time. The selection of candy was excellent, and it was fun browsing all of the different varieties and trying some of the treats they had available. As expected, the candy was delicious and lived up to the quality we've come to expect from the brand. If you're hoping for a behind-the-scenes factory experience, you may be disappointed. However, if you're simply looking to stock up on great candy and enjoy a fun stop during your travels, it's definitely worth a visit.

I live 2,000 miles away and love seeing their products distributed on the west coast. The factory itself is on another level. It can be very crowded, but it's understandable.

This place has become a staple in the region and I absolutely love to see how they've grown over the years.

I purchased $50+ of products to be shipped to me in California. As of February 16, 2025 I have not received my order. I have spoken to the owner several times and first, he was going to refund my credit card. In January the owner promised that he would call the dedicated department that handles refunds and that he would call me the next day to confirm. Again, as of February 16, 2025. The owner dropped the ball again. To date I have NOT received a refund, a phone call or the popcorn. The owner commits to actions and fails consistently to deliver and cannot possibly care about customers. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS TIRED, AWFUL PLACE TO EVEN AN ENEMY. Do not shop here! The owner doesn't tell the truth EVER!!!

I have regretted that decision! It's now been 4 weeks and no product has been delivered despite my multiple calls. The excuses I've received are that they're waiting on bags. I feel at this point that I've been scammed by a company that I thought was legit. The sad part about this is that my money was quickly debited from my account. Very disappointing!

I also recommend trying their Candyland Lemonade-it's AMAZING! Especially if you're a sugar lover like me.

We expected a welcoming and positive experience, but instead we were met with rudeness and a lack of basic courtesy.
